Can't Remove LG Octane Battery

I've looked at the help section, and watched the instructional video on how to remove it. I still can't get the battery cover to slide off. I press and I press and I press, and I try using things to help press harder to slide it off. No go. I now have a tiny scratch on my phone from trying to follow the instructions. Is there a trick to this or am I just a wuss?
Also are there any videos of an actual human being removing the battery cover to this phone? The instructional video just had: Octane *poof* the cover is off, *poof* the battery is out.

Hello Elistariel,
Were you able to get the battery door and the battery detached from the LG Octane? Also, have you tried the steps that lewisr13 posted. If not then there are a few options on how to get it out. You can take device to our corporate store for assistance from a sales rep. I have also posted a video for your review. Although it's not an LG Octane, the door is removed in a similar fashion. Keep in mind that this is not a Verizon Wireless video so don't be mad at me because her nails isn't done! Just joking...

Good luck and let me know if it works out for you!

  • Help, I can't remove the iBook battery

    I have an old but reliable iBook G3; works great, no problems. Yesterday I upgraded the hard drive to a 100 GB Hitachi-Travelstar. Replacement was successful. IBook runs great. The only problem I have is the battery won't come off even when the latch is in the unlock position! Help! Is there some way or some tool or trick to get it off? I know that someday I will need a new battery.
    Thanks for your help, Martin

    Yes, I've seen that reference. That's step 1 in the hard drive replacement. The battery won't come off or pop out. Something's holding it. Its not the latch, because I can "feel" and hear it go in and out when I turn the notched thingy. Also, the battery has a "bounce" to it in the unlock position. Somethings holding it in. The icon battery (in the menu bar) shows an X (not being charged when the notch is in the unlock position, but starts charging in the lock position. I'm wondering if its the plastic caps in the greasy springs located in the battery housing. I'm getting worried since it takes longer for the battery to charge up and it doesn't ever get to full "Charged" but remains at 95 - 99% While I've read that this is normal, it also takes a lot faster to discharge, but that could be to the newer power requirements of the new 100 gig drive. But then again, there could be a short somewhere. Does anyone have any recommendation on how to free a stuck battery without damaging either the iBook or the battery? Help!

  • How can I remove the battery from my Iphone and Ipads?

    How can I remove the battery from my iphone and ipad?

    The iPhone and iPad do not have user serviceable batteries. Battery replacement is handled by Apple. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar if battery replacement is required.

  • I want to store my mac before I go south for the winter. I don't want to lose my info. Can I remove battery and not lose anything?

    I want to store my mac before I go south for the winter. I don't want to lose my info. Can I remove battery and not lose anything?

    Yes. Your data are stored in your hard drive, and the battery is not required for the hard drive to keep its data.
    However, you may want to google for information about how to store a battery for an extended period - "winter" is a long time, and batteries do run down when left sitting on a shelf.

  • Satellite A350 - How can I remove the password?

    Hi every one
    I am Col and I have just joint the site
    I have a problem with my Satellite A350
    I bought this laptop from a trusted auction,not on the net, with the password attached unfortunately this password dont work, but the auction house clams it does,
    What is happening is when I turn it on the first screen you see wants a password, I put in the so called password that was given to me but it wont work. When I try to get into the BIOS setup it still wants the password before I can continue.
    This computer is using Vista and I cant even put the Vista disk back in because the DVD drive wont work because the op system has not booted
    I hope some one knows how to by pass the password or can help me. I have tried removing the internal battery but no go, my email is [email protected] if you want me to explain things better
    Thanks to every one
    Col

    Hi Col!
    These are not so good news
    Im not a Satellite A350 owner but if you want to remove the password you should contact an ASP and ask for help. The notebook technicians are know how to remove the password and so I think they can help you at best.
    On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:

  • Will the ssd in the macbook pro retinas ever be upgradible , ive seen that they can be removed .

    will the MBP-R SSD's ever be upgradible in the future ,as we know they can be removed , so will we see replacement drives become available ?
    check out the SSD (ifixit tear down ) http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Image/meta/LpjTmUO4MTnygPTv

    Yes, the flash drives can be removed. So can the battery - but be aware that what you're looking at is a teardown - you wouldn't want to try replacing the battery on your own.
    It may be that, one day, Apple or a third-party will come out with replaceable flash storage but it's highly unlikely that it will be user replaceable.
    Just be aware when you purchase your MBP-R that there is nothing - nothing - that is user replaceable, or even Apple replaceable in some instances, at this time.
    Just spend the $4K+ and get a fully outfitted model. Don't bet on the future.

  • It Gives me no reason this message often the first to enter my pass:" When you can not buy Equilibrium - Leonardo da Vinci's Balance Puzzle " and 27other elements. Please try again later". How can I remove this annoyng message? Maybe it's a Virus?

    The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
    Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
    Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
    Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
    So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

  • Satellite P205-S6277: Can I take off the battery and connect the power too?

    I am working on my notebook Toshiba satellite P205-S6277, 80% of my time at home.
    Can I take off the battery and connect the power to a backup UPS in order to make battery life longer?
    I can charge it once a week.

    Of course you can do this. You can remove the battery and work on AC power supply only. Be sure there is no dust on the desk and the battery place on the notebook stay clean for further usage.

  • When can i remove batt after putting MBP to sleep?

    I know the computer will save the memory, perhaps i can call it "hibernate" when i put it on sleep. how long after i put it to sleep can i remove the power cord and battery?

    After you put the computer to sleep there is no need to remove the battery (nor the A/C power for that matter.)
    The computer will not automatically hibernate. Only if the computer is dropped or receives some sudden motion will the computer go into hibernation to protect the hard drive.
    If you want the computer to hibernate rather than go into normal sleep you will need to change the safe sleep parameter. To do that you need to use the Terminal app (Utilities folder.) Use this command line:
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X
    where X is the desired parameter:
    = 0 : Default sleep behavior on most Apple computers. RAM is still powered on while sleeping. Wake up is fast. Safe sleep is disabled.
    = 1 : Hibernation behavior. System is totally shut down while sleeping. RAM contents are dumped to disk. Wake up is slow.
    = 3 : Default behavior on Powerbook HD computers. RAM is still powered on while sleeping. Wake up is fast. Safe sleep is enabled, so RAM contents are also dumped to disk before going to sleep.
    You would want to use "3".

  • Can't remove HDD password

    A friend's teenage daughter bought a refurb t61, XP.
    The friend asked me to help with some software problems, probably viruses.
    The computer had a boot password, the daughter could sign on with the finger print reader, but did not know the password to key in so I had her sign in with her finger and we thought we turned off the boot password with the software but after a shut down and start up, it asked for a password at boot and no longer recognized her finger.
    I removed the cmos battery to remove the boot password but is now asking for a hard drive password, which she also doesn't know.
    How do we remove or circumvent the HD password so we can set up the computer with passwords she knows, and I can clean up the software problems, or how can we reactivate the finger sign on so we can get in that way?
    thanx

    Welcome to the forum!
    By removing the CMOS battery you've activated the Supervisor password.
    It is against forum rules to discuss the circumvention of security systems, passwords included.
    I will say this much: remove the hard drive and boot the machine up. If you're still getting the password prompt, that's a full Supervisor password. The official remedy calls for a motherboard replacement.
    If you don't get the password prompt, just replace the hard disk drive and move on.
    Good luck.

  • Tecra S2 - Can I change the mainboard battery?

    I have a Tecra S2 and it appears that the motherboard battery may be dead. I have removed the motherboard and it appears that the battery is soldered in. Is it possible to replace the battery or do I need to get a new motherboard, and if I get a used motherboard am I likely to find that its battery is stuffed as well?
    I dont want to take it to service centre if it cant be fixed because they charge like wounded bulls here, I will take it a service centre if the battery can be changed

    Hi
    As far as I know the soldered battery can be recharged as suggested by C3PO.
    If the battery cannot be charged due to a malfunction then you will need a help from an technician.
    There are different motherboards on the market some batteries can be removed and some are soldered as you have suggested in the posting
    I your case I doubt you would be able to remove this RTC battery
    PS: a new motherboard is very expensive. Its one of the expensive notebook parts beside the LCD screen so you should consider this before you would replace the mobo.

  • How do I remove the PRAM battery?

    I leave on tuesday morning to go overseas. I've been told to remove the PRAM battery from my Power Mac before leaving.
    How do I do this?
    Regards,

    Not familiar with your model G5 as I have an original DP2.
    There are more views of the internals here
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86790
    As you can just about see in the second diagram there, some models were fitted with a 'button' cell, shown more clearly here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Battery.pdf
    - but it still seems to be in roughly the same place. I would have thought yours had a 1/2 AA lithium battery.

  • HT1390 How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini?  I have asked I tunes and nothing works.  They sent me here

    How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini??  I have asked the itunes store and they cannot help.  They will not dissappear and I can`t load anymore. And one of them is just a grey box...

    I'd defiantly try a factory reset first to see how things look afterwards.
    Its safe to say IOS8 is buggy for me and I'm sure Apple will fix many of the issues soon. The main problems I have experienced to date on a factory reset iPad Mini are as follows:
    General system slow down.
    Safari is very slow to render web pages, this could be WIFI related.
    The keyboard seems slow to respond especially within Safari.
    I opened a new email earlier this morning and it caused the iPad to auto reboot. Thats a first for me on an Apple device.
    The ability to make / receive a call on your iPad always seems to fail for me. My iPad will ring when a call is received I will answer but it will immediately fail to connect. The same happens on outgoing calls.
    Battery life on first impressions seems to have suffered since the upgrade.
    Role on IOS 8.0.1...

  • How can you remove pop up ads

    How can you remove pop up ads.

    You installed the "SaveKeeper" adware. To remove it, please take the steps below.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of the date it was posted, as far as I know.They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment after a few days from now should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    1. From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions, including any with the name "RightCoupon," "SaveKeep," or similar. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    2. In the Applications folder, there may be an item with the name "SaveKeeper" or similar. Move it to the Trash and empty. If you get a warning that the item is in use, force it to quit, then try again.
    The rest of this comment is optional. I can't be sure that you don't have a variant of SaveKeeper that I'm not familiar with, or that you haven't installed some other kind of malware in addition to SaveKeeper. If you want to rule out that possibility, see below.
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
